A convincing issue for the democrats to show they are serious people

Ayann Hirsi Ali is now living in hiding again, this time because America is failing

Hat Tip Douglas Murray:

The Dutch Somali-born writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali is in a safe-house at an undisclosed location in Holland tonight after the Dutch government said that they would remove her security-detail from her from the 1st October unless she was in the Netherlands.

The former Dutch MP and colleague of the murdered Dutch film-maker Theo van Gogh, has been protected by the Dutch government during her time working at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.

But they have apparently now decided that they owe the former MP nothing at all unless she stays in Holland.

Considering that Hirsi Ali was effectively forced to leave Holland after disgracefully having her citizenship withdrawn (and then reinstated), and that her neighbours sued to have her forced out of her house, the Dutch government's ignominious decision heaps insult onto injury.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's new home, her work and her living are in America. Her life was made un-liveable in the Netherlands, but that country is now forcing her to stay there. The American government meanwhile seems to have decided that it is not its business that one of the most endangered and heroic people in its land is being grotesquely forced into a situation of such danger.

Hirsi Ali is being forced to choose between living unguarded where she wants to be or being guarded where she does not want to be: between being allowed her 'right to life' and her 'right to a life.' It is an intolerable situation, and shameful that both the Dutch and American governments have allowed this to happen.

WHERE IS THE MEDIA ON THIS?
